Student Senator Student Senators serve the University of Minnesota system as members of both the Student and University Senate. These two bodies, along with the Faculty Senate, serve in coordination with the Board of Regents as the central policy governance systems within the University of Minnesota. Student Senators are elected from each college within the University of Minnesota. Representation is proportional to population and senators are expected to serve as representatives from their respective colleges while being conscious of their status as students within the University of Minnesota system at large. Two student senators are elected from both the Crookston and Morris campuses. Student Senators are required to attend five full Student Senate and University Senate meetings in the course of an academic year. Student Senators serve as advocates for the students of the University of Minnesota and provide student input and consultation on matters of University governance, policy, and operations.
